Revealing the Best Montana Restaurant Meal I Had In 2025

If you love great food, Montana is a great place to live. I dined at several phenomenal restaurants in 2025, but one of them left a lasting impression on me.

This year was full of changes, and some of them were for the better. The number of new restaurants that opened in the Bozeman area is fantastic news for foodies in the area.

Of course, the longtime restaurants in the area are always worth checking out, but a new restaurant that opened earlier in the year has quickly become a personal favorite. I've eaten there a few time since it opened, and each time, I'm blown away by how good the food is.

I'm talking about Bozeman's newest sit-down Mexican restaurant, Plaza Azteca. It's located in the Cannery District, and has been a welcomed addition to a city with few options when it comes to quality Mexican food that doesn't come from a food truck.

Throughout the years, many options for Mexican food in the Bozeman area have disappeared. I used to love the gigantic margaritas at Santa Fe Reds. Thankfully, Plaza Azteca is filling the void, and the menu is huge, so you won't have trouble finding something that satisfies your cravings. Everything from amazing fish tacos to enchiladas.

There's another restaurant in Bozeman that deserves an honorable mention, and it's somewhat of a hidden gem. Yellow House Barbecue serves up some of the best BBQ in the entire state. It's authentic Texas-Style barbecue, and it needs to be on your radar if you're a fan of smoked meaty goodness.
